Book Synopsis
A gazetteer tracing the origin and meaning of more than 17,000 place-names throughout Britain, this A-Z is a treasury of information and fascinating facts. It is both an ideal guide for anybody exploring the British Isles and an authoritative resource for researchers and students interested in the study of place-names.

Trade Review
This is a book so meticulously and scruplously compiled that it deserves not only a salutation, then, but scrutiny. And everyone who lives in this country and is curious about it should have it on a shelf, ready to take with them before going for a long, curious walk. * Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian *
Just the (almost) pocket-size reference manual you need to find out the true meaning of your home town or village. * Suffolk & Norfolk Life *
